In My Second Life, I'll Do Everything To Win You Over—My Beloved Childhood Friend Will Never Be Given To Anyone Else - Episode 19

After nearly an hour of deliberation, we decided to buy matching hair clips.

It’s not a large one for gathering hair, but a small-sized hair clip.

With this, even Nagisa with short hair can use it for hair arrangements.

What we chose is a light purple hair clip shaped like a butterfly. It has a gradient color that is distinctive, and although it was a bit expensive, I don’t think anyone else will have the same one.

“I’m glad I could buy something cute.”

Taking the newly bought hair clip out of the bag, Nagisa looked at it happily. Just watching her profile made me feel happy.

I can’t believe you’re this happy about matching with me.

“Hey, where should we put it, Momoka? We could boldly sweep the bangs up, or even do some braiding, right?”

“Yeah. I think either one would suit Nagisa.”

“Well then, which one do you think looks better on me?”

“Uh…”

Nagisa rarely lifts her bangs. Therefore, the opportunity to see Nagisa without bangs is quite rare.

But that means other people will see it too, right?

Nagisa rarely puts her bangs up when she’s outside, but it’s a different story when she’s relaxing at home. She often clips her bangs up with a hairpin because they get in the way.

Having spent the night together many times and spent time together at home, I have seen Nagisa in such a state plenty of times.

“Can I take a moment to think it over?”

“What is that? Momoka, you’re taking my hairstyle too seriously.”

“Because it’s an important matter, right?”

Ahaha, while laughing so loudly, Nagisa has a slightly embarrassed look on her face.

Really, so cute.

“Alright, I’ll decide on Momoka’s hairstyle for you.”

“Okay.”

“Wow, what should I do? Since my hair is long, I can think of all sorts of things.”

While talking about hairstyles for the sports festival, we entered a café in the shopping mall.

To eat popcorn while watching a movie, we decided to have a light lunch.

They each ordered a sandwich and waited for it to arrive. Nagisa placed the bag containing the hair clips on the table instead of putting it in the basket.

“Hey, Momoka”

“What?”

“Don’t match with others at the sports festival.”

He probably intended to say it casually, but looking at his face, I could tell that Nagisa was nervous.

Nagisa drinks a glass of water in one go, as if to cover something up, and stares at me intently.

“Because Momoka has this.”

Nagisa points to the bag containing the hair clips.

Nodding, I also drank some water.

It’s not a misunderstanding; I think Nagisa’s possessiveness towards me is growing more and more.

But I don’t know what kind of emotions it comes from.

“Nagisa too. Since we’ve gone through the trouble of marking each other, don’t add unnecessary things, okay?”

“Of course, I promise.”

Nagisa smiled broadly, showing her teeth. I felt an urge to reach out to that smile.

Nagisa probably won’t refuse.

But I tightly clenched my own hand.

If we start an ambiguous relationship, I feel like it will just keep going as it is.

The other day, we kissed. We don’t mention that day to each other, but we definitely pressed our lips together.

I think it’s not impossible to move forward gradually…

But I still want to have a proper relationship with Nagisa.

“Momoka? You seem lost in thought, what’s wrong?”

“Oh, sorry. I was thinking about the movie. It’s been a while since I read the original, so I was wondering what the story was about.”

I spoke nonsense, but it seemed like Nagisa genuinely believed my words.

“If you’ve forgotten, it would definitely be more fun to just watch the movie as it is.”

“Really?”

“That’s right! Nagisa-chan will guarantee it for you!”

Saying something like that in a joking manner, Nagisa winked with her right eye.

Cute.

Hurry up and become all mine already.
